DESCRIPTION :
This recipe is a famous soup in Thailand and it is called Tom Yum Kung in their local language. (Yum, like in yummies-recipe!)
If you do find yourself in Thailand one day, you must try it. It should be available in each Thai restaurant all over the world, although each restaurant will use its own recipe.
This soup recipe is very spicy and you will feel the heat coming out of your ears ..literally! :)
If you are not in Asia, go and find some of the ingredients in an asian
shop or in "the asian section" of your supermarket.
I love the aroma of this dish because of the many different smells you can get out of cooking it.
INGREDIENTS :
- 6 medium size prawns - 2 tablespoons of coriander roots - 1 inch (2,5cm) piece of lengkuas (sliced thinly) - 4 kaffir-lime leaves shred into pieces - 2 stalks of lemon grbutt (pounded lightly) - 3 bowls of water - 2 table spoons of fish sauce - 2 tablespoons of tamarind juice (or replace with lime juice) - 2 tablespoons of sugar - 2 tablespoons of tom yam paste (can be bought from any asian shops) or more if you like it spicy - 2 spring onions cut into 4 cm in length - coriander leaves for garnishing
